Environment - PDFsharp Library, Visual Studio 2012 and C# as the language.
I am trying to:
I am able to do all the following. But when I open the file Test2.pdf the size of the page is getting reduced to Width = 11 inches, Height – 11 inches. These PDF files that I am using are Product Specification Sheets that I have downloaded from the internet. I believe this is happening on only certain types of file and I am not sure how to differentiate these files.
Code given below:
//File dimentions - Width = 17 inches, Height - 11 inches (Tabloid Format)
PdfDocument pdfDocument = PdfReader.Open(@"D:\Test1.pdf", PdfDocumentOpenMode.Modify);
PdfPage page = pdfDocument.Pages[0];
XGraphics gfx = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page);
XFont font = new XFont("Verdana", 20, XFontStyle.BoldItalic);
gfx.DrawString("Hello, World!", font, XBrushes.Black, new XRect(0, 0, page.Width, page.Height), XStringFormats.Center);
//When the file is saved dimentions change to - Width = 11 inches, Height - 11 inches
pdfDocument.Save(@"D:\Test2.pdf");
I have uploaded the file here Test1.pdf
==================================================================================
As suggested by the PDFsharp Team the code should be as follows:
PdfDocument PDFDoc = PdfReader.Open(@"D:\Test1.pdf", PdfDocumentOpenMode.Import);
PdfDocument PDFNewDoc = new PdfDocument();
for (int Pg = 0; Pg < PDFDoc.Pages.Count; Pg++)
{
PdfPage pp = PDFNewDoc.AddPage(PDFDoc.Pages[Pg]);
XGraphics gfx = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(pp);
XFont font = new XFont("Arial", 10, XFontStyle.Regular);
gfx.DrawString("Hello, World!", font, XBrushes.Black, new XRect(0, 0, pp.Width, pp.Height), XStringFormats.BottomCenter);
}
PDFNewDoc.Save(@"D:\Test2.pdf");
Instead of modifying the document, please create a new document and copy the pages from the old document to the new document.
